Entry 6 - "Wasting Your Life: One Peso at a Time, One Minute at a Time"

"80% of Filipinos are commuters. 80% of Filipinos will have their happiness and their health compromised. Every minute we spend in the MRT line or on a bus along EDSA is a minute of work that we did for free. It is a minute with a loved one that was taken from us. It is a minute we could have invested in our own physical or intellectual development. It is a minute we could have spent preparing a healthy meal. It is a minute we could have spent with ourchildren. It is a minute of our lives that was wasted.
Apparently, it’s not just our money, our taxes, that corrupt and inefficient government officials can squander. They’re wasting our lives: one minute at a time, one peso at a time."

Kasakit sa kasingkasing. Few months from now and I am definitely breaking up with unecessary stress, unhealthy commute, and lethal pollution. Finally. Konting kembot na lang.

This is a good read. So much feels.
